How to calculate inflation rate for $1, 1999 to 2000
Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1999 and 2000:
CPI in 2000 CPI in 1999
×
1999 AUD value
=
2000 AUD value
Then plug in historical CPI values. The Australian CPI was 68.4 in the year 1999 and 71.5 in 2000:
71.568.4
×
$1
=
$1.05
$1 in 1999 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as $1.05 in 2000.
To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 1999 and 2000, we use the following formula:
CPI in 2000 - CPI in 1999CPI in 1999
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (1 years)
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
71.5 - 68.468.4
×
